So why wasn't his property returned to him? <br /><br />Gonna be embarrassing when he goes to the White House and President Obama asks to see his clock and he has to tell the president the police wouldn't give it back. <br /><br />A lot of fun is being poked at this situation as is, with photos potato clocks made by scientists when they were in school being posted with captions like "Good thing I'm white or they might have thought these were potato grenades.". <br /><br />I expect the police either destroyed his clock or someone took it. Whatever happens, they are up for being ridiculed again when Ahmed can't produce the clock he was arrested for building. mlaiuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792165896828163411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-5568306524471190762015-09-18T09:53:16.128-08:002015-09-18T09:53:16.128-08:00Bristol is mad because the White House has not inv...Bristol is mad because the White House has not invited ANY of the Palins to visit. <br />BeaglemomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-50542941586518068762015-09-18T09:51:30.779-08:002015-09-18T09:51:30.779-08:00Yeah but Jindal has continued the dumbing down of ...Yeah but Jindal has continued the dumbing down of Louisiana's educational system from elementary school through graduate school.<br />BeaglemomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-27919209864383089382015-09-18T03:38:36.859-08:002015-09-18T03:38:36.859-08:00Ahmed is also black.

You can carry guns openly into Starbucks, but a 14-year-old kid can't carry his homemade clock into a school. At least Alaska is separated from the lower 48 by Canada. Maybe we should build a fence around the entire state but allow Mexicans and anyone as smart as Ahmed to emigrate.

And I'll bet those cops were real happy to arrest this kid. <br /><br />But I blame the school and specifically the teacher. Yep. Dumbass hysterical teacher and rigid intolerant administration because, you know, TEXAS. <br /><br />They're the ones that had to have their textbooks rewritten special for them to appease the right wing nutjob talibangelicals on the school board. <br /><br />This kid is transferring schools. I'd like to see the entire family transfer states. <br /><br />Come to California kid. You'll not only get extra credit but win the science fair. <br /><br />He's invited to Astronomy Night at the White House (I hope all expenses paid) and Nasa and MIT have invited him.

Place it somewhere, tell people he's got something "dangerous" etc. Ahmed said, I have a clock; I built this clock. Isn't it cool? No hoax was involved. No real bomb was involved. They, especially that princinotyourpal with the overly done hair and makeup, screwed up royally. ANd detaining a kid who is askign fro his parents and NOT notifying the parent - I want them to sue the school to teh point it shuts down and she loses her job. ANd before you go into - it'll hurt the students...their parents should have not voted in the school board that hired this idiot.

From reading the story, I'm getting that the adults - school and cops - weren't satisfied that he wasn't trying to pull a 'bomb hoax' until well after he was arrested. That's crazy. The first teacher he showed it to obviously did not think he was trying to pull a bomb hoax, and didn't exactly do him any favors by not saying "Let me keep this until the end of the day and you can pick it up before you go home" or a half-dozen other things he could have done. But the other adults involved also had a half-dozen other ways they could have handled the situation better and more appropriately than they did.
